For numerous years, Kalmar has been developing specially made machines engineered to handle empty containers. Kalmar's empty container handlers can be found in operation all around the world. Kalmar offers various empty container handling machinery. There are different units to be able to meet lifting height requirements and, customer's performance. Their range stretches from a capacity of 3 high up to 8+1 high, providing optimum balance of economy.
In order for money to be made and a task to be completed successfully, the containers need to be moved and stacked quickly, efficiently and safely. Aside from driving safe and fast, the stacking should be completed independent of lifting height. In general, it is a time-consuming task that requires accurate positioning.
These machines are usually placed in harsh working environment with heavy demands and loads being placed on the stability of the mast and the spreader, in addition to strain on the abilities in the handling process. Having a clear field of vision also helps to ensure extra safety for the operator and those working nearby.
Single Stacking
For single stacking machinery, the main characteristics consist of their high lifting speeds, extreme flexibility and overall stability. The single handling concept begins at 3 high and stacking up to 8 high. These equipment feature twistlock attachments which are a common item on many Kalmar equipment all around the globe. Several of the key factors to take into account when thinking about single stacking machinery are the limitations in ground space and the high demands on selectivity.
Double Stacking
An important step in increasing the productivity in the empty container handling business comes from double stacking of containers. The double stacking situation can be a very demanding application for the Empty Container Handler. Kalmar offers the new DCE100 model which was specially designed to fulfill the high stability requirements of strength and stability with margin. Stacking 2 containers simultaneously is the optimum operational effectiveness that tops selectivity demands.
To be able to meet a huge variety of applications, Kalmar has researched, designed and engineered numerous units of forklift trucks.
